Answer:
Fireflies produce a chemical reaction inside their bodies that allows them to light up. This type of light production is called bioluminescence. ... This is necessary because if a firefly's light-producing organ got as hot as a light bulb, the firefly would not survive the experience.

Answer:
Scientifically, fireflies are classified under Lampyridae, a family
of insects within the beetle order Coleoptera, or winged beetles.
While most fireflies are characterized by their use of bioluminescence
to attract mates and communicate with others in their species, not all
insects within the firefly family produce light. Some communicate using
pheromones, a sort of insect perfume.
